Searching for a house......
Hello there again!
I posted a question about where to live in Norfolk a while back.(and thank you so very much for all of your responses!)
Well, my husband and I have officially moved to Chesapeake, VA and are looking for a new home. We really like parts of Chesapeake and Suffolk.
I would love any advice on what areas to stay away from, what school systems are great, etc.
We are happy to be here, although I do miss my home of alabama very much! Hopefully we can find a home that feels like "home"!
Thank you much! 
Re: Searching for a house......
Ok, not familiar with the school districts in Suffolk (but I agree about the pretty locale). Chesapeake's best school districts are: Great Bridge, Hickory, not sure what the ratings are on Grassfield which is really new. Oscar Smith is eh. Deep Creek's not too bad, Indian River I wouldn't recommend too much and Western Branch has gone way south lately - at least that's what I've heard. You will also notice home prices in each school district reflected on their desirability. IE, Great Bridge, Hickory $$$$, Western Branch $?
